Bring your movie soundtracks and TV shows to life

Crystal-clear dialogue. Subtle soundtrack details. Lifelike special effects that match the on-screen action. That's what you can expect with Polk Audio's TSx150C. This center channel speaker's two 5-1/4" Dynamic Balance® woofers and 1" silk/polymer dome tweeter deliver full, punchy sound for a thrilling home theater experience. And its reversible, angled-top design means you can invert the speaker for placement on a low shelf, directing the sound toward your ears for better performance.

Designed and built for exceptional performance

Polk carefully builds their TSx-series speakers using advanced manufacturing techniques and high-quality materials — they put a lot into them so you get a lot out of them. Each one boasts Polk's exclusive Dynamic Balance® drivers — a bi-laminate design of fiber-infused polymers sandwiched together to form a strong yet highly efficient lightweight cone for natural, low-distortion sound. Polk puts these advanced drivers through extensive testing to find and eliminate resonance points, ensuring that everything you listen to sounds clean and accurate.

Polk also paid special attention to the TSx crossovers, using a high-performance design with premium parts like Mylar bypass capacitors to deliver smooth and extended high-frequency details. Even the cabinets themselves are built to sound better, using non-resonant MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) construction to help reduce audible coloration.

Your home theater's most important speaker

The center channel speaker is the workhorse in a home theater system. It has to reproduce clear dialogue and special effects that keep your eyes and ears glued to the movie action. A high-quality center speaker is a great investment for any surround sound setup. Try to choose one that's as closely matched as possible to your front right and left speakers, so that as sound moves across the front stage, it stays seamlessly realistic.

Very Pleased!

Purchased as a part of a surround sound system I put together. I am very pleased with this center speaker. It is attractive, sounds great and I like the flexibility of "mounting" it with the slanted back. I like that they offer it in both black and Cherry finish as well. I picked the Cherry as it went well with my other speakers and adds some class to the system. The sales/technical people at Crutchfield were great! I've been a customer for over 30 years and it is their great staff and products that keep me coming back!

Recommend this speaker

Love this speaker. It replaces one in a 10-12 year old theater sound system. I also replaced the tuner and sub woofer. Now music is outstanding as is any BR/DVD. The dialog is not crisp and clear not muddy and hard to understand at times as it was with the old speaker. Crutchfield did there usual stellar job in delivering it promptly. Very pleased with the unit and the service.

Pros:Love how clear distinct the dialog is from normal TV and fantastic sound dialog from movies and BR/DVD. I also love the idea that it can be turned upside down to "aim" the sound up.

Great Job Polk!

I purchased this to match my TsX 330T's and WOW, what a difference! This is my first real home theater setup and I didn't realize how important the center channel was until I got this one. The vocals and dialogue are clear and present. My Onkyo receiver did a great job with the Audyssey setup and got all my speakers blending nicely. Crutchfield was having a sale on Polk speakers and I got it at a great price. One thing just to help others out is that this is a little bigger than I anticipated, meaning that I had to rearrange my TV so this could fit in front and below it (my own fault for not measuring). Just make sure you pay attention to dimensions if you are somewhat limited on space.

Pros:Great sound and an essential piece to a great sounding home theater. Solid build and nice finish.

Great center channel speaker!

Brilliant dialogue capabilities, very natural sound. Can handle low end grunt. Love that the speaker can be turned upside down to aim UP if the speaker is located below the TV, which is very likely. Works seamlessly and sound matches perfectly with Polk TsX 220B Bookshelf speakers. Excellent front trio for home theater usage.

Driver Technology

TSx Series Loudspeaker: Introducing the TSx Series of loudspeakers
from Polk; stylish and quality-built for high performance. The high efficiency
TSx Series loudspeaker features a unique curved enclosure wrapped in a
wood-grain vinyl. The loudspeaker employs Dynamic Balance tuned drivers and
tweeters for realistic mid-range, deep, well-blended bass, and incredible detail
- for a classic Polk sound that is naturally open, spacious, and clear.

High Efficiency Design: The TSx Series center-channel loudspeaker can be driven by
practically any electronics, even the most modestly-powered amplifier or
receiver. Whether you're connecting them to the newest digital receiver, or to
your vintage amp, the TSx Series loudspeaker can produce sound that's spacious
and clear, enveloping and realistic.

Dynamic Balance Drivers: The TSx Series loudspeaker uses Polk's
Dynamic Balance Driver Technology for great sound. Dynamic Balance is a
proprietary Polk Audio technology using laser imaging to determine what
combination of speaker materials create the least amount of resonance.
Eliminating resonance in speakers results in a wide, smooth response and low
distortion. Using just the right materials enables Polk to tune out
performance-robbing resonances before they occur.

Klipple Optimized Motor: Klipple Optimized Motor employs a
laser and sophisticated software for large scale analysis of the TSx Series
loudspeaker's drivers in motion. Using this state-of-the-art laser and software
process, Polk engineers were able to optimize the speaker's motor structure,
voice coil alignment, and suspension to yield the best possible performance.

Silk/Polymer Dome Tweeter: The TSx150C center-channel loudspeaker
features a 1.0" silk/polymer Dynamic Balance dome tweeter with a powerful
neodymium magnet structure that delivers clear and detailed highs for realistic
reproduction of vocals and instruments, without fatigue.

High Performance Crossover: The loudspeaker employs a high performance
crossover system for optimum blending and time alignment of the overall speaker.
Mylar bypass capacitors are used to reveal extended high frequency details.

TSx-Series Timbre-Matched: All Polk loudspeakers are timbre-matched
within their series, designed with the same components throughout, to achieve
seamless speaker-to-speaker blending effects in multi-channel systems.

Frequency Response: The TSx150C center-channel loudspeaker has an
overall frequency response of 53Hz-25kHz, while the -3dB frequency response is
63-24kHz.

Mounting Options

Center Placement: The Polk TSx150C should be centered above
or below your flat-panel television. Not magnetically shielded for use with
older CRT televisions.

Reversible Design: If the speaker must be positioned below
ear level, you can turn the cabinet upside down, allowing the drivers to fire
upward.

Rubber Feet: The center-channel speaker comes with
self-adhesive rubber feet so it will sit safely and securely on your speaker stand or
shelf. The rubber feet add approximately 0.625" to the height of the speaker.

Wall Mounting: The TSx150C center speaker does not feature
any type of wall-mount bracket or hardware. The optional PinPoint center-channel
bracket (121AM15B,
sold separately) can be used to wall mount the speaker.
